Clear Racial Bias in Government Dealings

Making the rounds on the liberal talk show circuits these days is the thought virus that if those Bundy type squatters on that government land were a branch of “Black Lives Matter” or perhaps “Occupy Wall Street” or even some American Indian group, that they would most likely be dead or something by now- - or at least all incarcerated.  They wouldn’t be ignored and allowed to hog the media with their little invectives against- - - “organized stateism” for lack of a better term.  These people put a spin on the second amendment that reveals them to be anarchists at heart.  But we needn’t keep this line of reasoning hypothetical.  There is a branch of the Shoshoni tribe up in Idaho (I think) that years ago lost their Indian land they had owned for centuries.  Back in business law I heard something about “encroachment law” where if there is a vacant plot of land and there is a diagonal path across that grassy field- - these pedestrians have over time the  common law right to use that path- - because of a doctrine of aquiecence or something where they can’t be stopped.  I don’t know if I was ever tested on this.  But it seems that this Sheshoni tribe “lost the right” to their own land because it became a major pollution dumping ground where the land became worthless anyhow.  And the government offered the tribe money for their land but the Shoshoni tribe refused and said “We want our land” so became as it were squatters on their own land doing ranching and things on the land.  But unlike the Bundy Boys- - the government swooped in and sued them for millions of dollars and conthiscated their cattle and all of that, so they are now in a heap of legal trouble.

A quote has surfaced about John Erlichman who in 1970 or so said that the thing that Nixon feared most were hippies and Black people.  And if he could tie the anti Viet Nam War protestors to pot and Blacks to Heroin then he’d discredit large segments of the left wing.  He said “We knew it was a lie – but it worked”.   In other words using drug hysteria as a political weapon against the progressive movement in this country.  There is this woman named Sarah in Utah who has a three year old daughter named Renni who has this host of illnesses and medical conditions since she was born.  And she went to Oregon to get legal medical marijuana.  But at the beginning of this year Oregon canceled their program to allow out of staters to buy these “illicit” drugs.  So now it’s up to the Utah legislature to legalize medical marijuana in such dire cases- - and Sarah, the mother, is advised to get in contact with the Rep legislative leader.

This massive methane leak in Porter Ranch in the SF Valley is the result of a safety shut-off valve that was removed in 1979 and never replaced.  There is a special kind of lenses where you can actually see the massive black smoke pollution.  It’s said that the excess methane gas should be burned off with a flair and this would be safer from an ecological perspective because the methane gas would be turned to C02, which is a less dangerous gas than methane.  This problem began in October and it will be till March before they say the problem will be fixed. 

Black people would be candidates for PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder.  Thom Hartman says if he’d had the experiences growing up that his Black friends have related to him, or that he’s read about- - then he, Tom would have PTSD.  Black people are not sympathetic to this bit about the President crying over white school kids because Black people routinely see so much horror and trauma in their lives they don’t allow themselves the luxury of showing emotions, or at least that’s my understand of it.  It’s something to think about, anyhow.

It’s said that FOX and MSNBC will eliminate their usual commercial breaks to cover a Donald Trump speech.  But they make up the revenue because now this TV time has become worth more because the supply of it has been cut and the ratings of the station are higher, so that in the end – giving Donald Trump free time actually is a money making prospect for these stations.  But because they are corporate owned, they won’t grant Bernie Sanders the same courtesy of covering his speeches for free even though Bernie could similarly be a money raising proposition.  The networks are still trying to shut Bernie out.  Therefore they won’t make a big thing out of an audience of twenty thousand, which goes on all the time with Bernie Sanders. 

The employment news is good this month even though the unemployment rate is frozen at five point zero percent.  295,000 jobs were added last month and the months of October and November were revised upward.  This is good news but it doesn’t make up for the six hundred or so points in the stock market we’ve lost this week.  Thom Hartman just read a bunch of economic statistics by Michael Snyder, who has written several books.  The problem is that anybody who says “get out of the stock market and into gold” is doing you no favor.  If you had followed their advice the past few years most of the time you would have lost money.  I also found out this author is a Christian, which unfortunately does not aid in his judgement.  

Dreams when you’re having them make perfect rational sense and seem very real but then when you try and break down the rationality of these dreams afterwards they make absolutely no sense.  As such it to me seems difficult that anyone could actually “learn something” from having a dream, no matter how detailed and involved.  Several weeks ago I had a dream I didn’t report that was nothing extrordenary.  It was the idea that emotions such as anger and love and ambition- - survive death as conscious entities.  But they are not connected with any particular body and as such could go on to occupy other bodies as temporary residences kind of like “thought virus”.  They lack the power of higher reasoning but seek only their own particular self propagation.  This is what psychics have been saying for decades.  That haunted houses for instance are merely “magnetic energy residuals” that aren’t associated with any particular living Ego as we modern people think of the soul and the ego.  We often speak of people being “smitten” by love or “overcome” with emotion as if that particular emotion were really not a part of their intrinsic psyche- - but only strongly “colored” what we observe about a particular person.  It’s just something to think about in your spare free moments today.
